Chapter 628 - Chapter 628 Chapter 628 Professor Qiao What does it have to do

Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Professor Qiao: What does it have to do with you? Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Professor Qiao: What does it have to do with you? As these words slipped out, she felt even more convinced that the plan was feasible, her tone icy as she said, “As long as she becomes yours, she won’t be worthy of Brother Li.”

Qin Yuan, hearing this, looked at his sister with a hint of surprise and sized her up, “Do you know what you are saying?”

Qin Xuan’s lips were tightly pressed, her eyes slightly red with indignation, “Of course I know what I’m saying. It’s not the first time you’ve done something like drugging someone.”

Despite Qin Yuan’s appearance as a man of talent, a gentleman of manners, inside he was not such a person.

This man acted entirely on whim, his methods extremely cruel, and had a very scheming nature.

Even if Qin Xuan was his own sister, sometimes she didn’t dare to cross him.

Qin Yuan asked with a half-smile, his voice unhurried, “What did you say?”

Qin Xuan, seeing the warning in his eyes, said sensibly, “I’m just offering you advice. I understand people like her the best. She must be vain, longing to cling to the powerful. Just offer her some benefits, and maybe she will shift her target to you.”

She had seen too many such people and assumed that Qiao Yun must have used some means to ensnare Li Hanzhou’s soul.

However, Qin Yuan did not think so. Being worldly and insightful, he saw things clearly.

From the beginning, when Qiao Yun faced Li Hanzhou, there wasn’t a hint of fawning or fear.

In her eyes, there seemed to be no distinction between the noble and the lowly, it was rather Li Hanzhou who cared more about Qiao Yun.

If one were to talk about seduction, it was uncertain who seduced whom.

It was precisely because of this that Qin Yuan’s interest in Qiao Yun grew even greater.

When he first saw Qiao Yun at the holiday villa, he felt that she suited his taste. Now, with Li Hanzhou’s involvement, his innate competitiveness emerged.

But he, more than Qin Xuan, knew how to weigh the situation. Now was not a good time to form an enmity with Li Hanzhou.

He looked over at Qin Xuan with a maniacal glint in her eyes and said lightly, “Don’t forget why we are here in Beijing in the first place. Put away those dark thoughts of yours.”

Qin Xuan clenched her jaws, looking towards the person who had just stepped into the dance floor with Li Hanzhou, “But he was supposed to be mine; if it weren’t for this woman, Brother Li would have surely agreed to a marriage alliance with our family.”

Unwilling to accept Li Hanzhou’s rejection, she blamed everything on Qiao Yun, as if doing so could mask her own failure.

Qin Yuan was even more patient than Qin Xuan; seeing that Qiao Yun and Li Hanzhou were not together yet, he still saw opportunity–there was no need for urgency.

If in the end, he still had not won her over, he would consider other methods.

After all, the prey he set his sights on would ultimately be his.

Furthermore, Qin Yuan had long investigated Qiao Yun’s background. Although the Lu Family had some capital, it was still far incomparable to the colossus of the Qin Family.

If the Lu Family knew that the young master of the Qin Family fancied their daughter, they might be extremely pleased.

However, he had another purpose in getting close to Qiao Yun…

The last time he was at the holiday villa, he saw someone who bore a resemblance to his grandfather in his youth, but the ages did not match up. Uncertain whether that person was a lost member of the Qin bloodline, he thought to approach Qiao Yun discreetly.

If true…

Qin Yuan took a sip of his drink, his deep eyes flashing with a hint of murderous intent.

“Brother, I’m telling you, it’s okay to be interested in her, but I advise you to just play around and not take it seriously,”

Qin Xuan’s voice snapped Qin Yuan back to reality. He glanced at her sideways, “What do you want to say?”

Qin Xuan felt a tingling on her scalp from the murderous intent in his eyes, swallowed hard, and composed herself, “Someone of her caliber is unworthy of our Qin Family; she’s just a little lady from an insignificant household, not fit to be my sister-in-law.”

Qin Yuan said playfully, “Is that so? I actually think she’s quite suitable.”

Qin Xuan exclaimed in surprise, “You’re not telling me you’re serious?”

Qin Yuan’s response was enigmatic, “She seems to be, a bit more complicated than that.”

Qiao Yun had an air of someone from the upper echelons, a sensation he hadn’t quite figured out where it came from yet.

This was also the reason why he had not directly made a move on Qiao Yun.

Qin Xuan said with disdain, “Her? That’s laughable.”

She thought her brother had simply gone mad.

The not-so-simple Qiao Yun had already been pulled into the dance floor by Li Hanzhou.

This move had once again captured everyone’s attention.

Mr. Li is actually inviting a girl to dance?

Could it be raining red from the sky?

Li Hanzhou wrapped his arms around Qiao Yun’s slender waist and asked in a soft voice, “Were you jealous just now?”

Qiao Yun said expressionlessly, “Jealous?”

Li Hanzhou carefully observed Qiao Yun’s expression, well, it was indeed hard to spot any jealousy on her icy face.

Tsk…

Was it just his imagination?

With a smile, Li Hanzhou said under Qiao Yun’s puzzled gaze, “Alright, it was me who was jealous.”

Qiao Yun sincerely asked, “Why were you jealous?”

“Do you know Qin Yuan?” Li Hanzhou deflected.

Qiao Yun was momentarily confused before she remembered who Qin Yuan was and honestly replied, “No, I don’t know him.”

“It seemed like you were having a nice chat with him.”

Qiao Yun silently counted and informed him, “Only one sentence was exchanged, does that count as a nice chat?”

Li Hanzhou paused for a moment, his smile growing deeper, “No, it doesn’t.”

“Oh,” Qiao Yun added, “I’m not familiar with him.”

At her words, the corners of Li Hanzhou’s mouth lifted in pleasure. Was the little one explaining herself to him?

He didn’t take Qin Yuan seriously at all and changed the subject, “How come you can dance?”

He had noticed since a while ago that Qiao Yun could ballroom dance, but he didn’t know who had taught her.

Just the thought of some strange man holding Qiao Yun’s petite waist to dance with her…

Made Li Hanzhou a bit jealous.

Qiao Yun said with a hint of pride, “I can learn it after watching it once.”

She was like an all-capable robot, very strong at learning.

Li Hanzhou’s lips curved in a smile; indeed, she was the one he liked, truly impressive.

Qin Xuan was watching from not too far away, his eyes green with envy.

Mrs. Qin came over, displeased, “What are you doing? Such a great opportunity, how could you let someone else have it?”

Qin Xuan was indignant, did she want to let it go?

She did not.

Thus, as soon as the opening dance was over and she saw an opportunity when Li Hanzhou was caught up talking to others, she sat directly opposite Qiao Yun.

Without Li Hanzhou present, Qin Xuan’s countenance no longer held the sweetness of before, instead, it was haughty as she passed a glass of wine to Qiao Yun, “Miss Qiao, care for a drink?”

Qiao Yun didn’t have a good impression of Qin Xuan, as she could see malice in her eyes.

Therefore, she did not take the glass.

Qin Xuan did not mind, took a sip of her drink, and fixed her gaze on Qiao Yun, “What’s your relationship with Brother Li?”

Qiao Yun gave her a glance and spoke in a disinterested tone, “What my relationship with him is, what does that have to do with you?”

They were not familiar with each other after all, so naturally, she wouldn’t say too much.

Qin Xuan gave a faint smile, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t say, I just wanted to let you know that I like Brother Li and would like you to stop showing up in front of Brother Li in the future, otherwise I can’t guarantee what might happen.”

Her eyes held a warning, “Miss Qiao, don’t be unwise.”
